How do I measure and improve the efficiency of Memcached?

Measuring and improving the efficiency of Memcached is crucial for optimizing your application's performance. This involves monitoring its hit ratio, memory usage, and response times to identify areas for improvement.

// Example to measure Memcached efficiency in PHP $memcached = new Memcached(); $memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211); // Get cache hit ratio $stats = $memcached->getStats(); $total_requests = $stats[0]['get_cmds'] + $stats[0]['set_cmds']; $hit_ratio = $stats[0]['get_hits'] / $total_requests * 100; echo "Cache Hit Ratio: " . $hit_ratio . "%"; // Improving efficiency by monitoring memory usage $memcached_memory = $stats[0]['bytes'] / $stats[0]['limit_maxbytes'] * 100; echo "Memory Usage: " . $memcached_memory . "%";
